Like describing an errant guy as a cad or a bounder
Like describing Clarke Gable as 'dashing'
what other words do you like that you dont hear any more, or do you still use the odd one or two?
my faves are
lashings - as in The Famous Five enjoyed their pudding with 'lashings' of custard
Well I never, or By Jove - now replaced with OMG!!
spiffing now replaced with 'boss, mint, fab etc
bloomers - now replaced with thong (or commando :twisted:

my fave is "An absolute Shower" and not meaning the rain either confused but said in the most caddish way by the best cad of them all Terry Tomas
or a rotten scoundrel "Oh you absolute rotter"

I used the words "cad" and "bounder" today :shock:
Come to think of it, I use lots of rarely used words. I guess that means they're not that rarely used, as it has been said I talk rather a lot. redface

I use Zoinks (scooby doo has a lot to answer for!)
My other favorite saying at the moment is - "ooh you naughty strawberry!"

I love some of the older phrases - Mr F speaks "very proper" and still uses some like gobbledegook and balderdash but my favourite is he still calls young, flighty girls flibbertegibbets (sp?)

Chap.
If I'm not sure about someone's name/status at work I will refer to them as 'that chap from xxx' or whatever.
I work in a mixed f/m team so I preface emails with 'guys' rather than name them all. Although I hear recently that's supposed to be males only - my very 'jolly hockey sticks' games teacher used to call us all guys and it was a girls' school.

My Dad still uses the word " courting ".
That really does somewhat sound old fashioned now, but kind of got a nice innocent ring to it.
Instead of " going out with me bird ". lol

My dad always used to say 'have you popped?' when someone had apparently broken wind redface . Evidently he was always mistaken because girls don't do they? Must have been the dog :giggle: Think he now says 'blown off' though, or something equally ridiculous (especially as it's usually him rolleyes )
He also still insists on calling the smallest room the lavatory (or lavatreeee as one of my sisters pronounces it).
I miss the word 'pardon' since it was apparently replaced by 'wot!'.
I still use 'trollope' (usually in reference to myself).

I'm a fan of "blimey"
I like groovy too.
There are a whole load of Scottish words I like but I'm not sure how old fashioned they are! lol

hugger mugger is a delightful phrase that I have only heard in use once by an old army chap with a huge waxed moustache. I had to go and look it up.

'Yikes' is another one that conjures up times past for me biggrin

I quite like the phrases "hullaballoo and brouhaha".
As in... "What is the meaning of this brouhaha!"
... meaning what is the cause of the disturbance (as the Police would say".
I had a woodwork teacher that would say "Calm down Children - enough of this hullaballoo!".
Today's phrase would be more along the lines of "Shut the f**k-up you delinquent little tw**s!".

I'm rather partial to the Dickens-esque "What larks!" to express my amusement at whatever fun and games is being had.
But then I'm odd.

You don't hear "randy" much anymore, it seems to have been completely replaced by "horny".
